4.2 The Company reserves the right to change the Price in the event of a variation to the Company’s quotation. Any variation from the plan of scheduled Services or specifications (including in the event that the cost of overseas transactions increases as a consequence of variations in foreign currency rates of exchange and/or international freight and insurance charges or as a result of increases to the Company in the cost of the Goods) will be detailed in writing and charged for on the basis of the Company’s quotation and will be shown as variations on the invoice.

6.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, the Company is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods.
